LSU fans, how did he play?
Haven’t been able to watch your game and he is a guy I’ve wanted to keep an eye on.

Meet the hype?

Eek just realized y’all played Georgia southern.
Doubt they threw the ball much.

Beat us and only threw it like 4 times. Guess I’ll find out next week

Not sure if just attempting to troll, but he actually did quite well returning for us.

His ability as a punt return specialist alone were enough to meet the hype.

He is legit and IMO, is the first player in a long time that could have gone to the NFL right out of high school. Probably not a starter, but would without a doubt make a roster.

I don’t think they completed a pass on him.

He did have two stellar punt returns which was nice.

His return skills will be diminished when teams quit punting to him. That’s why IMO punt returners are not the end all be all. I just want someone who will catch it every time and make smart decisions. I know coaches even Saban pit great athletes back there but teams will just kick away from them.

Not trolling at all.
One of the best prospects I’ve seen and interested in his career.

Eventually, yeah. But just by watching the fluidity of his athleticism, it was clear he is elite.

That’s true. But sometimes in a big game all it takes is one great return to flip field position..

Derek held his own @ cornerback but considering Georgia Southern was way more run oriented than passing wasn’t much of a test against his defensive skills...he did very well on his punt returning though...Texas will be a bigger test...

He's going to be special. The hype is warranted.

Had 52 punt return yards in his first game. He almost took the first one to the house.

LSU as a team had 99 last year. So we are on track for a major improvement.

GSU did not throw his way on defense.

Elite talent in every phase of his game. Almost took his first punt of his college career back for a TD. If teams do punt to him this year, I feel he will take at least one or two to the house. He's that good.

This usually leads to better field position either way.
